Picture of wounded Gaddafi hits world media
The picture captured off a cellular phone camera shows the arrest of Gaddafi.
An image of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has hit the world media this morning. The picture captured off a cellular phone camera shows the arrest of Libya's strongman Muammar Gaddafi in Sirte today. A Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) commander had told Gaddafi was captured as his hometown Sirte was falling, adding that the ousted strongman was badly wounded.
Later, a Libyan military official confirmed that a picture of a dead man who resembled Muammar Gaddafi and was shown on Al Jazeera was that of the former Libyan leader, the Arab satellite station reported.
Asked by Al Jazeera whether the picture shown by the Qatar-based channel was that of Gaddafi, Colonel Mostafa Noah, a member of the NTC security committee in Tripoli, said: "Yes, that is correct."
